Greetings Fellow Alpha Enthusiasts,

Over the summer I did the initial work to port libjit[1], a just in time compiler library, to the alpha architecture as part of Google's Summer of Code. libjit is a subproject of DotGNU[2]. At present, the library can be used on Alpha systems to compile functions that do simple integer math, but there is still much work to be done (floating point support, optimizations, and much more). I'm looking for people who are interested in helping and have alpha knowledge (assembly language and a general understanding of the architecture). If you want to help, please introduce yourself to me by e-mail. I'm currently working on libjit in my spare time without funding. Monetary donations would encourage me to spend more time on libjit. If you would like to sponsor development, please contact me to arrange goals, define deliverables, and setup a payment schedule.

-Thomas
